It's going to be entirely dependent on the testing of the new builds. The first flight isn't out yet to their small subset of the 13k people that signed up to help test so we'll see what it's looking like come late May.

Speaking of which, we should hopefully be getting an update on that today actually.

MCC during summer would also go along with MS needing a strategy of steady releases of first party content into Game Pass

April: Sea of Thieves
May: State of Decay 2
June/July: Crackdown 3(?)
August: Master Chief Collection once patch is fully ready (?)
September: Forza Horizon 4(?)
October/November: Some more Remastered family titles which could be new or some of the existing ones (last year we had Disneyland Adventures, Zoo Tycoon *already added to GP*, Pixar Rush)

I think they should add all 1st party Xbox releases to the service since they are essentially re-releases. And they said all future 1st party games will be on Game Pass day 1. So Conker, PDO, Jade Empire, I am looking at you.

I highly doubt Crackdown gets released in June or July. At best, a multiplayer beta will be released by then.

You're not getting a release until you have some public betas extensively testihg the servers and cloud which would last at minimum about 2 months like Sea of Thieves. We still have yet to have any announcements for the public betas. We're definiteely not getting this announcement at the end of April. It's possible we get it in May, if not then definitely June either around e3 or at e3.

My personal opinion is that we get a Crackdown 3 Beta and release date announcement during May's Inside Xbox. We should get Inside Xbox announced next week if the first two episodes are anything to go by.

Inside Xbox — May:
- Focused on State of Decay 2 mostly
- Xbox 360 backward compatibility announcements
- Xbox Avatars are finally ready to be shown
- Crackdown 3 Beta and release date

This is what I think could happen because they won't spend an hour on State of Decay 2, they will need more announcements than that.

Very possible. If that doesn't happen then I see it being announced on stage at e3 along with singleplayer campaign and online multiplayer gameplay demos for maximun exposure. I think Crackdown 3 will get the most time at Microsoft's e3 show.

Anyone play Robocraft? Its a pretty fun game, my brick design with tank wheels pretty much can't be destroyed.

Can't wait for SOD2 and I'll probably try PES.

I could see it dropping during E3. I hope PES 2018 is playable on the PC without too many problems because some titles I am having difficulty trying to get to play.

PES 2018 is a good game, still not up to par to my favourites WE nor PES 12 but its better than the previous 3 or so games.

The one thing about PES on Xbox is the inability to share edit data which is huge for its community.

Overcooked is GOAT. Already own it on PS4 but performance is shit on the Pro, so will definitely check how this runs on the X :)

EDIT: Laser League hitting the service day one - that's two new games debuting on the service within the month, very nice.

EDIT 2: And The Escapists! I realise you can likely buy it for peanuts these days, but as a big fan of Ocean's The Great Escape game back in the 80s, I've sat on this one for way too long. Looking forward to finally playing it.
